Do you love kids books?

Do you want to know which kids books andlearning materials are the best and why?

Do you want to pick up some fun and easy techniques for getting the most out of your storytime experience?

I’m Megan.

I'm a mom to three kids, a veteran reading teacher and Educational Therapist, and a lifelong lover of books. I started blogging to reconnect with and share my passion for children’s literature and quickly found a wonderful community. That’s you!

This is me:

I am constantly struggling to spend the right kind of time with my kids. There is so much I want to show them and teach them, but some days I break a sweat just getting everyone dressed and out the door. (Have you ever seen a three-year-old in a six-month-old’s onesie? I have. Many, many times.) On occasion, I make homemade play-doh and drop liquid water colors into the bubble bath. Routinely, I am thrilled if I get to the bottom of my coffee cup before the creamer congeals. And, everyday, I read to my kids. Just because I love them. And their books. And how quiet they are when I’m reading their books.

This is my fundamental belief:

We can’t slow the seasons or put more seconds into a minute, but we can all make storytime spectacular for the little people in our laps. I hope that I can help you get the most out of your read alouds with book recommendations and some techniques I have picked up along my way.
